Week of Feb. 24th


The Six Flags Reading Program allows students who log 6 hours of recreational reading to receive a free Six Flags ticket that is good for summer admission to Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington.  The reading logs are due back to homeroom teachers on Thursday, February 27, 2014.  To learn more about the program or get an extra copy of the reading log, visit:
